Hapoel Be'er Sheva Nears Signing Brazilian Midfielder Alan for Key Squad Boost

Hapoel Be'er Sheva is making progress in negotiations to sign Brazilian midfielder Alan, who is seen as a potential replacement for Kings Kangwa in the club's midfield. Alan, 26, has played for Portuguese side Moreirense since 2023, appearing in 141 matches with 25 goals and 26 assists. He also has four appearances for Brazil's youth national team and developed in Palmeiras' youth academy. His breakthrough came as a key player in Brazil's U17 South American Championship-winning team, where he played nine games, scored twice, and provided five assists.

If the deal is finalized, Alan will become Hapoel Be'er Sheva's highest-paid player. Reports indicate he is demanding $500,000 per season and a signing bonus between $1 million and $1.5 million, arriving as a free agent with his transfer rights in hand. Despite the club not qualifying for the Champions League group stage, Hapoel Be'er Sheva remains optimistic about Alan's willingness to join.

The club aims to complete the signing before the registration deadline and is also pursuing a foreign central defender to strengthen the squad further. The negotiations reflect the team's ambition to bolster its roster ahead of the upcoming season.
